Chuck was a dear sweet man, and he will definitely be missed. The good ones always go too soon. May you rest in peace. You were much loved.
I am very sorry to read of your husband’s passing. My sincerest condolences to you.
We did not get to know Chuck for very long, but it was obvious from our first meeting that he was a special person. We will all miss him. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.
Chuck was a pleasant colleague at Ohio university.
My condolences to the family. Chuck’ wonderful ability in Rolfing changed my life years ago. He was a dear sweet man.
So sorry to hear about Chuck. It came to a shock to me. I was hoping to visit him on our trip this weekend to Dallas.
It is of great sadness Chuck has passed on. I saw Chuck for 10 years as my Rolfer. How kind, compassionate and intuitive Chuck was. Losing Chuck reduced the quality of life I have now. His expertise w trauma cannot be matched. Sorry to his family members. That must be very hard for them. I’m deeply sorry. He was a special man… Jan Parsley
Chuck was a source of healing, help and support to me and my loved ones for many, many years. He made a real difference in our lives, and we will miss him. We send our belated but sincere condolences to all of his loved ones.
Chuck helped me so much with rolfing and psychotherapy. He helped me understand what I needed to work through. He was extremely kind and patient. I understand so much about my life’s journey because of him. I don’t think I will ever encounter anyone quite like him again.
I hope he is now experiencing wonderful peace and happiness. The pursuit of which he tried to lead others toward.
Dear family, we send our condolences and miss talking with Chuck. He spoke of you each time we phone visited. Bob and Chuck were roommates in Arizona and kept a friendship all of these years.
Shelia, Andrew and Elizabeth, we hope to hear from you.
Chuck’s kindness will be so missed.
Life Eternal and Love to all of you.
Bob and Nancy Fardo
Chuck was one of my bioenergetics teachers. I just found out that he had died. He inspired me and pushed me to be the best I could be and he was a great father figure/mentor. I am so sad that Chuck isn’t around to inspire us anymore. My sympathy to his family and all who loved him.
